This documentary film depicts the reconciliation between Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye, and the peace-making initiatives which have flowed from it.
The film, narrated by Rageh Omaar, traces their remarkable story, showing that it is possible for the perpetrators of inter-religious violence to become instigators of peace.
It depicts the dynamics of personal forgiveness, and highlights some of the difficulties that arise in Christian-Muslim partnership and how they can be tackled. A case study of grass-root initiatives to rebuild communities torn apart by conflict.
